Speed vs Law - Moonshiner's Cars

Moonshiner's cars, or cars for the runners / trippers had to be fast to out run the police. This has some background for why bootlegging began, and what modifications were done to their cars for evading the law and carrying heavy loads.

*** NOTICE *** Details have been found to be wrong (e.g., 180 mph might should have been 118 mph or so..., and there is a bad date for Jr.). My apologies for those errors. In general, this video can be taken for fun for now. I hope to replace this video with all errors edited. To those who have nicely criticized this video and provide GREAT information, I truly appreciate it and hope to redeem this video in the near future.
